Hill is hoping to turn around Oxford's recent poor run against Cambridge

Oxford University's director of rugby Steve Hill says his players will not suffer under the weight of expectation in this year's Varsity game.

The Dark Blues are without a win over Cambridge University since 2004, but Hill insists they are eager to take their chances at Twickenham.

"They are massively looking forward to it, " Hill told BBC Oxford.

"Very few of our squad have played at Twickenham before so there is a real excitement and we want to do well."

The Varsity match kicks off at 1400 GMT on Thursday 11 December. BBC Oxford has full commentary of the game at bbc.co.uk/oxford.
